If the email-address isn't detected correctly automatically, you may want to set user-mail-address: ,----[ C-h v user-mail-address RET ] | user-mail-address is a variable defined in `startup.el'. | Its value is "asjo@koldfront.dk" | | Documentation: | Full mailing address of this user. | This is initialized with environment variable `EMAIL' or, as a | fallback, using `mail-host-address'.

How can I tell Gnus > to connect to the SMTP server? I don't use SMTP locally myself (Gnus defaults to sendmail(1), which is the local Postfix on my desktop machine); I think something like: (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it smtpmail-default-smtp-server "yoursmtpserver.example.com") and then filling in your password for the smtp-server in ~/.authinfo should be enough, though.
